\"\"<\/p>\n

Though most people don’t realize it, fear of bridges is relatively common. Acrophobia (fear of heights) and claustrophobia (fear of closed spaces) also make it difficult to cross bridges. Despite the very feeling of real fear that the bridge will collapse or your car will fall off the edge , some of the world’s most breathtaking and dizziness-inducing bridges, including these 10 bridges, may put a knot in your stomach. Even the bravest adventurer may choose to take a totally different route for these bridges, while regular bridges crossed by thousands of people every day are enough to make them tremble. Bridges may be incredibly scary, but if you are allowed to cross them, they are generally not dangerous and can be an exciting attraction for thrill seekers. Apart from that, they usually have some of the best views around, if you make it up to there. Keep reading to learn more breathtaking bridges!<\/p>\n

10. Zhangjiajie Glass Bridge \u2013 Wulingyuan, China<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Combine a bridge and a glass platform and you have the Zhangjiajie Glass Bridge, a common feature of height attractions. In Zhangjiajie National Forest Park, it stretches 1,400 feet over the canyon, once the world’s highest and longest glass bridge. While the views from the side are great, it’s the view from below that’s even more spectacular; the canyon below is nothing more than a watercolor painting of trees from nearly 2,000 feet above. For safety reasons, the bridge has a limit of 800 people per hour.<\/p>\n

9. Musou Suspension Bridge \u2013 Akaishi Mountains, Japan<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Vine bridges are some of the most notorious in the world. If you’re scared of bridges made of steel and cement, vines are probably not the most famous bridge in the world. Top choice. The vine bridge called Musou Suspension Bridge may be the scariest. This vine bridge may have been built in the 1950s and hasn’t been well maintained since then. Despite being reinforced with wires and wooden planks, the bridge is very unstable and many planks are missing or loose. If you can hike up a steep and intimidating mountain, it may not affect you that much.<\/p>\n

8. Trift Suspension Bridge \u2013 Gadmen, Switzerland<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

There’s no better place to enjoy spectacular panoramas than the Alps. This mountain range is dotted with zig-zagging footpaths, observation decks and bridges. This footbridge offers stunning views of the Trift glacier from a towering 330-foot height near Gadmen, Switzerland. Tucked away in the mountains is Triftsee, a turquoise glacial lake crossed by Trift Bridge. You’ll reach the bridge after a cable car and gondola ride, but it’s well worth it.<\/p>\n

7. Langkawi Sky Bridge \u2013 Kedah, Malaysia<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Snakes its way across the peak of Gunung Mat Cingchan in Malaysia, the Langkawi Sky Bridge literally hangs from the sky. Pulau Langkawi is the island off the coast of Peninsular Malaysia where the bridge is located. The walkway is about 400 feet long and curves around the mountain, offering alternating views. Both ends are connected by a triangular platform. Some people may be hesitant to walk, as they must first take a cable car to reach the bridge, but others are rewarded with amazing views once they reach the bridge.<\/p>\n

6. Royal Gorge Bridge \u2013 Canyon City, Colorado<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The suspension bridge will connect Colorado’s famously rugged peaks. The Royal Gorge Bridge is close to achieving its goal of building the world’s tallest suspension bridge over the Royal Gorge. For those who want to push their limits, there are also zip lines and gondola rides available to ride around the bridge. Despite its height, the bridge remains the main attraction, towering over 950 feet above the Arkansas River.

5. The Golden Bridge \u2013 Da Nang, Vietnam<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Golden Bridge, also known as Cau Vang in Vietnamese, is a stunning pedestrian bridge that stretches 150 meters long and is perched 1,400 meters above sea level. The bridge is known for its unique design, featuring two enormous stone hands that appear to be supporting the structure. We’ve heard of providing a helping hand for someone, but the\u00a0Golden Bridge\u00a0in Vietnam looks to be doing a lot more than just that.

4. Canopy Walk \u2013 Assassin South, Ghana<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

One unique feature sets Ghana’s Kakum National Park apart from other national parks: a rainforest, a lush tropical jungle home to many species of flora and fauna. At Kakum, you can walk on a rope bridge through the forest canopy, or hike or canoe on the forest floor. Made to look like a natural feature of the forest, the bridge was designed to attract ecotourism and raise awareness of the park. It is suspended 130 feet above the forest floor and is supported by both trees and a safety net.<\/p>\n

3. Husaini Suspension Bridge \u2013 Hunza, Pakistan<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If you visit Husaini Bridge in Pakistan, watch your step. Pakistan is home to many dangerous rope bridges, but in the mountainous region of northern Pakistan, residents have traditionally relied on other means of transportation. Farmers in the Upper Hunza region still use rope bridges, but those who are unfamiliar with the conditions should not attempt to cross Husaini Bridge. With its unstable, thin ropes and gaping planks, it is best left to experienced crossers.<\/p>\n

2. Aiguille du Midi \u2013 Mont Blanc, France<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

t’s hard to beat the scenery in the French Alps, especially in the southwestern resort town of Chamonix, known for its skiing and snow-capped peaks, including Chamonix Mont Blanc, also known as the Aiguille du Midi. At the top, you can step onto the platform of the Midi, with its glass walls that offer amazing views of Mont Blanc, the region’s most famous mountain. For the best experience, dress warmly and prepare for the steepest cable car ride in the Alps.<\/p>\n

1. Capilano Suspension Bridge \u2013 Vancouver, Canada<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Capilano Suspension Bridge in North Vancouver hangs 230 feet above the Capilano River in the forest canopy of British Columbia. It weaves for almost 500 feet and isn’t connected to anything, making it more of a walkway than a bridge. Built in 1889 with hemp twine and cedar planks, it’s since been rebuilt with sturdier materials, so don’t worry. Every year, 80,000 intrepid visitors cross the bridge as part of the park.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
